GUADELOUPE SURF SPOTS
The surf spots below are the most well
known, however there are loads of secret spots that locals know of as
well as surf clubs ...

... Marie Galante Her name is taken from Christopher Columbus' caravel and she is the largest of the islands depending on Guadeloupe and is approximately 1-2 hours from Saint Francois or Pointe a Pitre. The island is very chilled out and was a haven for writers and painters for inspiration. It was originally the home of the rum distilling which is easy to see based on the amount of natural vegetation there and they still carry the sugarcane by cart ...

Et voilà... I'm starting to get used to the idea of being on a site and reading the guidebook, it seems to be a much better choice! I'm waking up quite early in the morning... apparently there is a cock somewhere singing like a cock. Anyway, moving the curtains and seeing the sea no more distant than 30 meters is of great impact on me! The day is spent trying to get up some strength... I've left for this trip quite out of ...

... we were supposed to be two and the other lady just decided to not show up... what to say? couldn't believe it! Well, what to do next? Silviane advised me to join her and some others to the UCPA Centre in Les Saintes. Useless to say I had no clue what Les Saintes was and where they were located. But there were not many other choices so... pick up the bus and go! of course, I was just wandering ...

... isn't there, Audrey decides to go home. Tim at that precise moment randomly drives by and when asked nicely to take us back to Manapany he replies that he will take us from behind and then drives off into the night. Then Kat calls from some random house at Corossol and ends up sending a car to come get us, which by the time it does get there has no intention whatsoever to take Audrey home and also takes off into the night. Luckily, that is when My Guy ...

... t seem to mind. Packed my bags, to Kats again, actually smoked from banana leaves - awesome! - caribbean style, and we got totally buzzed out of it too. Then Today At work, been here since 9. Today Girls Gone Wild Pool Party so lots and lots of people but thankfully so far none of them have come to the reception. I bet working the restaurant today is horrible, its hotter than hell outside. Only 4 more hours to go. Then? Who knows? Anything is possible.

... huge mistake with Vanja, but I was just so tired and out of it I ended up hanging out outside with Vanja for like two hours. It was fun though, and I think I managed to cheer him up a little bit. At the end Dr Troy rolled out on his wheels and started chatting me up. He seems nice and smart and what not but I'm just not interested. In the end it was perfect that he stayed though coz Vanjas car had no gas so Dr. Troy gave me and Cecile a ...

... or what not and the Kat calls just to inform me that Philippe took her to his house and when she didn't want to stay there he refused to drive her so she is now walking home all by herself. OK, what do you want me to do about it? Nothing? OK, thanks for letting me know. Had a great morning though, lots of laughing and doing crazy, stupid things and then my guy brought me back on his scooter. And now here we are, 1 o clock, tuesday, two hours left before work. And I'm tired. God am I tired.

... I just need to write down some Vanja-isms I do not want to forget: (Vanja, tell me what to do) - Then I say, come on Sis, let's go home. - OK, which one of you girls is getting some ass? Saturday. Sooo tired. Bill had invited me to come along to Eden Rock for lunch where they were taking Federico + Virginie + Sara. Nice and all but I was soooooo tired, a little bit hungover, felt a tiny bit as if I probably didn't fit in and couldn't really say that much about the ...

There is a buzzing restaurant called Zeina located just across the street from the Casino in Gosier where tourists escape the bore of hotel buffets. Zeina has been open for the past 3 months and serves great food with Moroccan/Senegalese influnce including grilled fish, chicken, couscous and can even whip up a pretty good vegetarian dish. The service is great and the atmosphere very relaxing. Every night we met new friends at this place.
